It’s that time of the year again when the entire universe conspires to get you sick. You have tried all chemical permutations and combinations, exercised regularly and even gulped down many of grandma’s home-made concoctions. Perhaps, it’s time to give some alternate healing methods a chance? No, we are not talking about Yoga, Tai Chi or Acupuncture. We are going to go deep, in to a world where people will use your urine, birthing memory or even your ear to treat your health problems. Here are our top ten weird alternative remedies.
1. Snake Massage Therapy
This therapy makes a massage sound anything but relaxing. A heap of non-venomous snakes are piled on your body. Their slithering and crawling actions are supposed to give you that ultimate soothing sensation to your tired and aching body. Don’t worry if your facial muscles have stretched in horror because these spas offer you special small snakes to work on those areas as well.
While almost everyone agrees that earning a degree is very important for both economic and personal success, there is a lot of debate over which degrees are the best. And often the the least popular degrees can be the most rewarding, again, both economically and personally.
Students are lined up to get the popular MBA degree, with its promise of a big paycheck. However, possessing one of the remarkable, if not popular, degrees on this list could also lead to success. Quite a few of them are unusual enough that competition in their respective fields is minimal.
The definition of the word remarkable is “unusual” and “worthy of notice”. The degrees listed here are “unusual”, because their focus of study is unusual, they are not offered at many schools, or most people don’t even know the degree exists.
10. Taxation
Paying taxes is annoying but it is definitely here to stay, so if you pursue a degree in taxation you will most likely always have a job. A degree in taxation provides you with in-depth knowledge of the taxation system, usually much more than an experienced lawyer would know. This degree allows you to work with people and organizations that regularly need their taxes done. In essence, every company and individual you can call to mind. While this degree isn’t uncommon by numbers, the number of things you can do with it trumps so many other careers that it makes specializing in taxation priceless.
But, you will most likely have friends who have ulterior motives (free tax advice) or few friends who don’t like being reminded they have to pay taxes every year.
When most people think about animals, they imagine furry little cow-eyed creatures innocently plucking leaves from trees or bugs from the ground for nourishment. However, many people are shocked to learn that, just as in human life, there’s an incredible, dark and even lascivious underbelly to the animal world. If you thought you new a lot about animal behavior, the following unbelievable but true animal facts may cause your jaw to drop.
10. Cows Are More Deadly Than Sharks
For most people, few things evoke fear like the image of a great white shark. A combination of popular culture movies and pervasive media stories concerning shark attacks has worked in concert to create a universal fear of these toothy eating machines. However, the dangers posed by sharks to humans are overstated. In fact, sharks kill only ten people each year. By contrast, you’re ten times more likely to die under the clumsy feet of ordinary cows who fatally trample around 100 people every 12 months.

Drugs will always fascinate us because they can change the way we perceive reality. Some effects of drugs are so powerfully they alter reality and demonstrate why we call these drug induced episodes ‘trips’. Not all drugs are able to do what their fans or critics claim while others have a few more effects than advertised.
Weird drug urban legend Number One: Can LSD make you want to jump and shout?
Lysergic acid diethylamide commonly referred to as acid might make you want to shout, but the jumping part seems to be an urban legend. The weird effect LSD is alleged to have sends people jumping out of windows. Everyone has heard a story or two in which someone; often a famous person, takes the drug made popular in 1960’s by Timothy Leary, and then goes literally off the deep end.
Art Linkletter an American television celebrity in the 1950’s and 1960’s made this claim famous by convincing the public his 20-year-old daughter Diane Linkletter jumped to her death from her apartment window in the midst of an LSD induced hallucination. When it came to light his daughter’s autopsy results showed no evidence of LSD in her system Linkletter changed the story to her jumping during a ‘flashback’ after taking the drug in the recent past.
The problem with his theory is usually, this drug eliminates from the system quickly, and only rarely do some users have a secondary effect days or weeks after taking the drug. Over 70% of users never have a flashback, and while it is not known what causes them, this after effect is usually shorter in duration than when first taking the drug and it is a reduced experience from actually retaking the acid. It’s unlikely this would cause anyone to dive out a window.
The hallucinatory effect of LSD is most often fairly mild and involves a change in the senses or mingling of different perceptions. Side effects include panic attacks, extreme anxiety, paranoia and a sense of doom. These effects known a ‘bad trip’ are thought to occur when using the drug in an unfamiliar setting, around strangers, or when already feeling depressed, angry or having anxiety.

More people than you realize have some condition that makes their physical bodies different from the majority. Many try to hide those differences out of self-consciousness, even though the anomaly might be something you’d never notice anyway. Then there are some who celebrate their differences with a clever tattoo that provokes smiles and puts people at ease.
Arm wrestling is a sport with two participants. Each participant places one arm, both put either the right or left, on a surface, with their elbows bent and touching the surface, and they grip each other’s hand. The goal is to pin the other’s arm onto the surface, with the winner’s arm over the loser’s arm.
Claire Herritz has been declared the 2009 arm wrestling championship help in Cairo, Egypt.
Size is an issue that breeders continually grapple with. The pet market demands a small pig. What is so interesting to me as a past commercial pig breeder, is that people think a ninety pound potbelly is BIG. Just let that person come to the farm and check out a seven hundred-pound sow. This commercial sow will be as docile and sweet as my ninety-pound potbelly sow, there’s just a whole lot more of her.
A Wish Tree is an individual tree, usually distinguished by species, position or appearance, which is used as an object of wishes and offerings. Such trees are identified as possessing a special religious or spiritual value. By tradition, believers make votive offerings in order to gain from that nature spirit, saint or goddess fulfillment of a wish. The High Force Waterfall has a coin only wish tree in the grounds of the waterfall.
A plumber whose arm was left twisted grotesquely out of shape in an accident ten months ago has had an operation to correct it ‘cancelled four times’.
Torron Eeles, 50, has been left unable to work since falling down the stairs and now fears he may lose his home after being denied incapacity benefit.
The father-of-three today hit out at the NHS for the ‘unacceptable delays’, but East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust said Mr Eeles had his operation cancelled on ‘only’ two occasions on clinical safety grounds.
Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, his owner thinks she may have the world’s tallest living dog.
Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family’s farm house in eastern North Dakota.
Boomer can stare into a car window eye to eye with a driver. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts a couple of weeks.
Weber says the fluffy black and white dog “comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around.”
Weber plans to send Boomer’s measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 4-foot-tall Great Dane that died this summer.

Home sweet home – i can’t work in my regular office so i’m made my little house at my work place.
It all started when my wife was pregnant and we were at Border’s. We were walking by the help desk and I stopped and asked the employee to look up a book title for me. “Excuse me, but I’m looking for a book entitled, “How to NOT be a Dead Beat Dad.” This obviously embarrassed my wife, but I got great enjoyment out of watching the employee type in the ridiculous title in the computer. I was referred to visit their Family section. I got such a kick out of it, that I make it a habit to ask for interesting sounding titles whenever we head over to the book store. If your like me and find the book store a little stuffy and boring, this may be a good way to add a little excitement to your next visit.

Mickey Rourke is headed to the Academy Awards both as a nominee and a grieving pet owner after the death of his 17-year-old Chihuahua, Loki.
A representative for Rourke, Judy Woloshen, said the actor’s beloved dog died Monday night.
Says Rourke: “Loki is deeply missed but with me in spirit. I feel very blessed that she fell asleep peacefully in my arms.”
Rourke, who’s having a career comeback with his acclaimed performance in “The Wrestler,” was especially close to Loki and is a longtime owner of chihuahuas.
Rourke thanked all his dogs — living and dead — after winning the Golden Globe for best actor last month, saying “sometimes when a man’s alone, all you got is your dog.”

Not sure what this guy is torturing himself for, but it looks pretty painful and dangerous.
On the other hand this is child’s play compared to brutal rituals like the ones performed at the Phuket Festival or The penitencia , in the Philippines, where people really hurt themselves in the name of religion. It would be nice to know why this guy is rolling around on thornes like this, but I’m pretty sure this is related to religion too.
